DSM People's Closing

The prices will probably fluctuate between expensive and really expensive depending on demand.

The acoustics were terrible at best. Concrete, wood and brick does not make for a good sound mix. I left a Cross Canadian Ragweed concerrt there a couple of years ago and could not hear until the next day.

Thats cause cody melts faces. I was there too, soooooo loud lol.

It is a good idea, a lot of big cities have a bar like this now. This website explains the idea pretty well.

I think these venues will be more successful than the peoples shows. It will attract and older crowd instead of the all ages shows thats peoples always seemed to run. Liars is also gone. I think that place gave the whole building a bad name at the end.

I think the real question here is who was at fault for People's demise in Ames.

As much as Zmolek likes to place blame everywhere else, it was solely, completely, entirely & unequivocally all his doing! Sucks that he was such an unbelievably horrible businessman cause he had some great ideas....but I suppose it didn't help when he got lethargic with the bands & didn't seek out the up and comers like he did in the early years but rather play the hell out of the same three or four bands every other weekend! Not to mention he was quite controlling & he didn't take kindly to the ideas of the staff, even when he asked for manager input!
